The Ferrell brothers did the Tigers in, as pitcher Wes threw nine innings and hit a solo home run, while catcher Rick drove in the game-winning run with a slow ground ball to shortstop, and the Washington Senators beat Detroit 5-4 in 11 innings. Wes Ferrell's home run tied the game, 4-4 in the sixth inning. Charlie Gehringer smacked a three-run homer for Detroit, losers of five of their last seven games. In the 11th, Jimmy Wasdell led off with a single, but the hit was misplayed by center fielder Chick Morgan and Wasdell advanced to second. Ossie Bluege sacrificed Wasdell to third, and Rick Ferrell's slow ground ball enabled Wasdell to scamper home with the winning run ahead of Billy Rogell's throw. The Tigers held leads of 3-0 and 4-3.
Wes Ferrell, one of baseball's best hitting pitchers, showed it against the Tigers on Wednesday
